I have two hives, one of which is apparantly queenless now. One hive has eggs, brood, capped brood, etc. The other has none of that, only honey. What would your plan of attack be in this situation? Could I take a couple of bars of brood and eggs from one and put it in the other? If so, do I take the bees on the comb with it or brush them off before switching them? Would it be best to combine the hive and maybe split them later. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'd go look at it tommorrow before the weather turns cold
(monday and tuesday are going to be raw around here)
If you have a queen cell, good
if not, wait till it warms back up later in the week and try again
